Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to defend or protect.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1002: βέλος (belos) • meaning "missile" or "dart," which is what the shield would protect against. Usage: The term שֶׁלֶט (shelet) is used in the context of warfare, referring to a large shield that provides defense against enemy attacks. It is mentioned in the context of military equipment and armory. Context: The Hebrew word שֶׁלֶט (shelet) appears in the Old Testament as a term for a large shield, a crucial piece of defensive armor used by soldiers in ancient Israel. This type of shield was likely made of wood or metal and covered with leather, designed to protect the entire body from arrows, spears, and other projectiles. The use of the shelet is indicative of the organized military strategies employed by ancient armies, where soldiers would form protective lines or phalanxes using these large shields. The shelet is mentioned in the context of the armory of King Solomon, highlighting its importance and value in the royal arsenal. The shield symbolizes not only physical protection but also divine protection, as seen in various biblical passages where God is metaphorically described as a shield to His people.
